ATTN: SCS Members

[Wolfpack Speed]

Due to a lack of paid advertising for 2015, forum donations and support from our members in general, the SCS forum will be closing down this month and will remain closed unless a sale of the forum is completed. Since purchasing the forum from Lou, I have spent a lot of time and money upgrading the forum software, look & layout. I also had t-shirts & stickers printed and spent the better part of the last 2 years trying to find motivated members to organize, promote and execute forum activities. It was my sincere hope that those efforts would be enough to reenergize our declining forum and keep it around for many years to come, unfortunately that was not the case and I can no longer justify investing anymore time & money than I already have.

To all my friends and customers on here, thank you so much for your business and support over the years, Wolfpack Speed would be nothing without all of you!

Best of luck to all of you!

Mike

[03 OW SVT]

Well this sucks balls.

I wish I had the $ to buy or invest in the sight but since I gave up my business over a year ago I have been living paycheck to paycheck with this new job.

I will miss this sight terribly when it's gone. I have made lots of friends and acquaintances from this sight over the years. I wish everyone the best.

[gpfarrell]

So nobody wants to buy it but we all like it... How much do you need to run it another year?

$500? $1,000?

im sure we could find 25 people willing to chip in $20. What's it take to make it work?

[SlowSix]

someone needs to bring back pitt speed. Or just a pittsburgh general car forum. While many of the members on here don't own mustangs anymore, a mustang specific forum is too specific for the area imo.

That and forums are a dying breed, most people have moved over to fb discussion groups....they are free and easier to get members

[CobraII]

I hope someone does come forward and buy it. In case that doesn't happen, thanks to Mike and Lou for all of their efforts. I have also met folks from here, had fun on here, etc. I'll miss teasing Ed/Ares and Bob about the results when "more rpm" is applied. :D

Agree with slowsix... FB has drastically reduced forum discussions and activity. I like both, use both, but have a good number of friends like Ed and Sean/Roush08 who don't want to get on FB.

They DID bring back PittSpeed and it failed miserably. The people who grew up with forums no longer use them and the people who might go on them now use Facebook and alternatives... Hell I mainly pay attention to events on Facebook and not much else.

Forums are dead. Doesn't matter what you start, it's not going to work.

[SlowSix]

I didn't know that they brought it back.
I personally like forums better than FB, they're a lot easier to navigate in regards to topics and such, but FB is definitely a lot more popular now.

[travj31]

Sorry to hear... I don't post all that much anymore but religiously check in just about everyday. I for one am not a fan of the facebook groups, so hopefully there is a way to keep the site alive a little while longer. If a $20 bill from me helps the cause at all, let me know where to send it.

[95V6]

Seems like this was a long time coming. Sad to see the site go.

[somethingclever]

Agreed.

There must be a magic number that everyone can chip in to keep this site. I would be very sad to this this die off..

[2000GT]

If it does die off, that would be a bummer because I did make some friends on this site. However, I would like to keep in touch with a lot of you on here so we can continue to set up meets, cruises and arrangements to go to places like Carlisle. Maybe we can provide our real names so we can link up on FB or provide our phone numbers so we can text each other? I will start

I dont post much on here anymore but I do check in here atleast once per day just to see whats going on.
I've always loved this forum and Mike has done a great job!

I'd be willing to throw in a $20 if say 25 other members would be willing also if it meant the forum would stay around another year.

I'm sorry to see this site go as well. I understand first hand how hard it is to find site sponsors, find new members, etc. What forums have that Facebook does not is a place to look up information about a project.

[PaxtonShelby]

Thanks for everything you have done Mike ( and Lou before you ). I really enjoy this site and would miss it - and the many friends I have made thru it - a LOT. I would definitely chip in $20 or $25 ( per year? ) or whatever if enough folks would do the same. How about if the $25 allows you to post items in the FOR SALE area? Those who don't pay don't have access to post in that area. Just a thought. I have bought and sold a lot of things here - the fact that it is a relatively local forum is a HUGE plus in my opinion - for buyers and sellers alike.

Maybe the $25 could get the member $25 off ( one time per member per each year of paid membership ) any in-shop labor charge of $100? It might bring in some additional business ( not that you are in need of that - but it could pay off in the long run ).

What do you think Mike? Is this do-able? Just trying to help.

I am one of those who will never get involved with FaceBook or things like that. I guess that means I'm old...

[venom]

Thanks for the last few years Mike. RIP SCS.

[Martin0660]

I will also miss the site, I had a lousy car year and wasn't around much, but deffinately checked in here to see what people was doing. Made some good friends from this site, I hope it can stay around. If not, thanks for the efforts Mike, it's been a fun ride!

[Monkeygrits]

I'm in too. I like having a local forum where I can go and actually meet the members.

[95V6]

Are there even 25 active members? Seems like it's always the same couple guys posting lol

[jaa55]

I was hoping to buy but after talking it over with my wife we decided we should do some house improvements. I really enjoy using this site and I've made a lot of friends and acquaintances. I wish I didn't always have something going on or I'd help promote the site more. It would be awful to see it go so I'm in to donate

[Martin0660]

I'm in for a donation if that's what it takes. If it's already too late (I read that I to Mikes post), I suggest we hit up the Facebook group with names versus user names here

[black 94]

I would also donate if its not to late. I dont post much at all on here but visit the site regularly and would hate to see it go. If it helps some one just let me know.

Look everyone, I appreciate what you are trying to do, I expected this to be honest, but like I said in my first post, the forum is closing down unless a sale is completed. While it's mostly about the money, it's not all about the money and it's time to pull the plug on my end. The forum costs $135.00 per month ($1620.00 per year) just to host and is due for another minor software upgrade. If our members can pull together enough money to cover the annual hosting fee, as well as a plan going forward, I'm all ears.

Hmm… the $25 deal might be out the window. Not sure 65 people would pony up.

Wonder how many people would stick around if you had to pay a subscription fee to see the site?

My guess is not many!

[95V6]

What a shame. I check the forum atleast once a day and a few times when I'm bored at work. I've met some very nice people through here. Sad to see it go. I would be more than happy to donate more money if needed.

At this point we should figure out how to keep in contact, sadly Facebook is one of the only ways to go.

Yes, I figured it would go when Mike shuts down the site.

When's the last day Mike?

[White5.0]

Ah this sucks to see. I haven't been coming to this site very often the last year or so, but do check it every once and a while. Been coming here since before I knew a damn thing about cars and before I even had my driver's license. Learned a lot and met some cool people due to this site. Hate to see it go, but I can understand why

[Cam99]

Shame to see it go, I'm old school I like forums.

Anyone here use reddit? We could make a free sub which would be similar to this forum. Won't be a good as a forum, but it would be better than facebook. I would be willing to set it up if anyone's interested.

Edit: Just threw it together real quick: http://www.reddit.com/r/SteelCityStangs/
You'll have to create a user name, and subscribe. Should be open for anyone to join.

The only real difference is that all "threads" are on that one page and move up and down based on voting and time. You'll see for sale threads, car pictures, general bs, and whatever else mixed together.

Threw a few links in there so guys can see how it works.

Guess I'll have to text Cam to call him a Homo instead of doing it for all the world to see!

[Wolfpack Speed]

We have had a SCS Facebook page since 12/2012, we have 640 likes and nobody uses it.

[pop's stang]

If know one buys SCS by the end of the month, you are all welcome to use my forum site as a meeting place. There is already a strong local following there. All are welcome. www.stangalley.com/forum.php (http://www.stangalley.com/forum.php)

[Donstang86]

I'll throw in $20.

I have met a lot of nice guys on here! I would throw in $25! Put me on the list.

[Darren]

Put me on the list as well. I'd throw in money for sure.

i bet Mike is busy for sure, but would like to hear some additional input from him.

for now guys I think we should join the Facebook page mike made, even make a group on it

[Cam99]

Sad to see it go.

Mike, can I buy some SCS decals before it shuts down? I'd like to have something to remember the site.

That's a good idea Barry. Plus it would help Mike.

Well were up to 23 members willing to donate which look to fall very short of the 65 members each donating to help the forum make it. At the end of the day if we just had more posting, more pics being posted and just more members participating then the sponsors would have probably stuck around. Its a sad day in forum history......:bawling:

[mustang50lx]

I am in for the $25 if it will keep the forum going.

[White5.0]

Count me in too

[Wolfpack Speed]

I agree with everyone, it will be sad to see the forum go, lots of good people and times on here! If you look around the Mustang forum world, some of the biggest and most active forums are nothing now, like it or not, Social Media > Forums. Forums will always have their place because of searchable and linkable threads with good content, but outside of that, social media offers everything else forums do and then some. IMO this forum has been in decline for too long, I knew the risk when I purchased it but I was willing to try, it is what it is. I have been kicking around an idea for quite some time that would utilize the paid for license and domain, it would serve a purpose and also be a way for people to stay in touch, but much more affordable and simple, I will give it some thought and let everyone know anything changes.

As far as merchandise goes, I gave away the rest of the t-shirts but there are still stickers at the shop, first come first serve if anyone wants one. Also, I am told the forum will be closed by 12/31 by the host company.

Thanks

Mike

[TooFast98Cobra]

I'll raise my donation to $50 to help out more .

[John4cam]

We should do a name and number thread for anyone wanting to K.I.T with others for events.

[daviac5000]

I would be in for $20-$25, but it doesn't sound like it will matter. As you can tell from my post count, I'm a good lurker, but still check out the forum almost every day. I don't do facebook either & don't really think it can match what a forum can offer but I understand why Mike wants to close it down.

I'll throw a donation in as well for 25.00 to 50.00 if it will help. Let us know if you can raise enough money and where to send it.

$1620.00 per year. Seriously?
I admin a vbulletin site with over 1400 members and over 600 users login per day and we do not pay anywhere near that with servint.
This site does not have the traffic to justify the Ultimate VPS cost. This site will run fine on the $55 plan as long as the server is optimized for vbulletin.
Downgrade the server and I will gladly help get it optimized.

I don't claim to know much about this stuff Jeff but if you remember, the forum had to be moved to a new server when I purchased it. You recommended staying with servint and the same package that the forum was on at the time. I did exactly that and have no regrets, the package worked for a while and servint has been nothing short of fantastic to deal with, very knowledgable and reliable. Fast forward several month when the forum was completely redesigned and upgraded to the most stable release of vBulletin, a plan change was mandatory. With a boost in activity/usage, the forum started to mechanically slow down and became very choppy, users started to complain. Both Servint and the professional vBulletin company I used for the upgrades stated that I needed a more powerful hosting option and I went with their suggestion. The forum is still hosted with servint and since I upgraded the package, there have been zero issues. I am in no way saying that there may or may not be a more economical way to host the forum or configure it to be more efficient, but I don't have that knowledge regardless.

Your the perfect person to purchase/run the forum Jeff, whey don't you take their money to put toward the purchase and buy the damn thing!

Mike I run the same vb4 4.2.2 on the site that has 600+ members per day login and at any given time 100 to 200 members on at the same time. We are on the plan one level below you with zero issues. The server needs to be optimized for vbulletin. There are many things that can slow the site down that are server setting related. I don't have any interest in owning a site anymore but could help out.

[PaxtonShelby]

Sure would be great if things could work out fellas! Thanks for at least talking about it! :awsome: Maybe it could be tested on a trial basis?

[burntire]

And for those of you who don't know I put this site back together in 2006 when the server plug got pulled on Lou with no backup.
Then a few years later Lou was given a few days notice that he was losing space on the old modular fords server. I moved the site to my old server keeping the lights on until Mike took over two years ago.

[PaxtonShelby]

I didn't know that Jeff. Sending you a very late "Thank you!"

[Wolfpack Speed]

I didn't know that Jeff. Sending you a very late "Thank you!"

Jeff is a good dude, he did a good job and helped me out a bunch! He also knows what the fastest color is!

[somethingclever]

Sounds like it would be a good idea to knock down the server to keep costs such that the site could be fully or partially group funded.

[PaxtonShelby]

Jeff took me for my first ride in a Fox-5.0. Sideways on the 1-2 and 2-3 shifts...good time!!! The rest is history!! Another late "Thanks!!" Jeff!

[AdamantiumSilvr]

I really hope we all can come together and keep this forum alive!! It along with FB and youtube are really some of the only sites I go on. I'm down to donate some loot too! I have met n made some great friends on here and purchased ALOT of my Stangs parts from here!
My full name is Brent Bubash on Facebook so whoever wants to, can friend me. I am a Admin/Co-Founder of Allsquad a Secret group that my one great friend helped start up for the heck of it. He didn't care if it was me, my dad, uncle and him when we first started it. Now we've grown and also have a Open ALLSQUAD Classifieds group to keep For Sale and Trade stuff off the Main wall. We also just recently had a member start up a Allsquad Erie Chapter too. Again hopefully we all can keep in touch and keep the local and International underground forum Car Scene alive and thrivin!!

So if this is true it sounds like we've got enough people to keep this thing afloat for at least another year. At $55/month we'd only need $660/year. At last count in this thread we had 23 people willing to donate at least $25. You can add me and a couple more to the list and we'd have the $660 we need. What can we do to make this happen in the next few weeks?

I'm similar to what a lot of people in this thread stated, I get on the site almost every day, and usually multiple times per day during the week but I don't post all that much. I'd really hate to see it go and I'd be willing to help however I can to keep it around

[PaxtonShelby]

If we're able to keep things afloat in the short term by a few of us kicking in a little $, how about giving this a shot... We have 1400+ "members". If 25% of them are remotely active that's about 350 members. At $5 a year that's more than enough to keep things going. Even if only 10% of the 1400 stick around that's enough to cover the downgraded hosting fee. New folks could get a 30 day trial for free and then join for the $5 per year. Just brainstorming here. I know it is easy for me to sit back and throw out ideas...I don't know how it all works behind the scenes. Just trying to help. Seems like several of us are willing to contribute to keep things afloat in the short term...so it stands to reason that many more would be willing to pay a very small membership fee.

Let's keep the dialogue going here guys - it can't hurt!

[John4cam]

4 guys said 50 bux. so we should be very close.....

[2000GT]

Put me down for 50

[1320goat]

I've already donated to the site. I'm sure a few others have as well. If you guys figure out a plan I may donate again, but at the moment I'm pretty neutral on the situation.

[burntire]

Jeff is a good dude, he did a good job and helped me out a bunch! He also knows what the fastest color is! Just keep the site and downgrade the server. There are donation scripts that can change usergroups to something like SCS Supporter etc. Looks like you have the donations to keep the lights on.

[Dan B.]

Just a thought.............maybe Mike wants out of the website business. I modded for a long time on a very active message board and it just got to be a bother. Maybe it's for sale because he does not want to own it anymore, regardless of its cost.

Again.............just a thought.

Just a thought.............maybe Mike wants out of the website business. I modded for a long time on a very active message board and it just got to be a bother. Maybe it's for sale because he does not want to own it anymore, regardless of its cost.

Again.............just a thought.

You are 100% correct! Bingo, we have a winner!!!!

Sorry, don't have time to elaborate or comment on the other posts right now....

[Slow01GT]

Yeah I assumed that was made clear many pages ago

[95V6]

We just need someone who is able to take over. I think there is enough guys with money in here that could take care of the cost. I'd be willing to go up to $100 if others match that.

[burntire]

[95V6]

Yes, he sells the site. We take over financially but someone or others need to run it. I know nothing about running a forum. I'd just be a silent investor. lol

[no1sirbutler]

Price I saw posted here was $2500. And after reading this, I'm guessing that no sponsors signed up again the SCS account is empty......if that is true I don't see this site being worth the asking price

[SK360]

Sonofabish and I talked about this on the bus today, we decided we would throw in $0.25/e to the cause.

[Terminated]

I think it would be worth a look for the domain and dropping the size of the bandwidth due to low traffic, but hard to take on the risk knowing the state of forums anymore.

[somethingclever]

Mike,

If Dec 31 comes and goes and the site is not sold, would you ever receive any money?

Meaning, if it doesn't sell, maybe you would be willing to turn it over to the members?

[somethingclever]

So in other words, directly proportionate to the worth of your posts.

Pretty much. If posts have a monetary value now then why pay on top of that? :bouncy:... so I'm double contributing.

I purchased this forum because I have a lot of friends and customers on here and figured it was the least I could do to show my appreciation for all the business and support I have received over the years. I looked at it like this, if it keeps the forum around for a few more years or longer, great! If not, well, at least I tried and hopefully some will recognize and appreciate that.

$2500.00 for the forum
$259.00 for the vBulletin license
$500.00 for outside services
$1000.00 for t-shirts & stickers

...and then some. Since then, 2 members have clicked the "Donate" tab to help out, KeystoneJohnny & 1320goat, and if I collected $150.00 in merchandise sales I'm lucky. The icing on the cake for me was the lack of interest I received over the last year when I reached out to so many of you looking for members to help run the forum and organize, promote and execute the missing events & activites we have desperately needed.

So my question to all of you is this, where was all this support and interest for SCS over the last 2 years???

I have invested all the time and money into SCS that I am willing to, I'm done. I do not have the time or interest to contribute to forums, let alone own, maintain or grow one at this point. The real problem isn't the lack of advertising, server fee etc., it's a lack of interest and support from our members. I think it's great that a small number of you appreciate the forum and want to see it stick around, my suggestion to those who do is to find a way to purchase the forum from me ASAP.

Where was my support an interest in the past? Well, as you said above, you purchased it to show appreciation to lots of your friends and customers. I'm not a frequent flyer here, but I check in a few times a week. I've never seen you mention before that the site was such a burden or a financial drag. How much many you made was none of my business. Last week you spoke up that it wasn't working for you. When you did, I responded and so did many others. Lots of folks clearly do appreciate you and the website, but I"m not sure that a week ago anybody was thinking of buying a forum. Now that you've explained how miserable it is, I'm not sure anybody will (but kudos to you for offering a fair description of the work and expense involved.) Nevertheless, there's a swell of support here that's offering a path forward. I hope you're remembered as the guy that was the caretaker for SCS before it evolved into something else and not the guy that let it die.

[SlowSix]

I think that while it is great that people want to keep the site alive, and I've bought and sold a lot of stuff on here, it is a bit unrealistic to try to keep a website alive that only has 40 or so active members.

[Monkeygrits]

I started a facebook group. https://www.facebook.com/groups/1519659448296434
Another option for everyone would be for us to move to another forum that has a regional forum like this. I know a few members here are members over there.
http://www.moddedmustangs.com/forums/northeast/
Just trying to throw out some ideas because it doesn't look like this is going anywhere and we only have a few weeks. If the forum is shutdown all of the content on here is lost forever correct?

So it didn't make the money you expected and you can't get advertisers to pay you correct?

sorry but how I see it is you put very little effort into promoting this site.....some shirts and stickers is a joke. You asked for help and several people spoke up including myself yet you didn't follow through with any offers. You own a shop yet no posts of your builds just pics of customer cars with very little info if any.....hell you post more on FB. So other than buying it and throwing some money into shirts and stickers(ms hires don't cost much to get made), what have you done to promote it?

Mike, I think most of us appreciate you saving the site and buying it off Lou. I wish now that we could of had a heads up earlier to try to save it again. I get you want out, I don't blame you. I've seen your shop in the summer with cars lined up to get work done.

Im sad to see the site go, I really have. I wish I could have done something to help out. I don't know jack about running a site.

[Maxpowers]

Hope the site stays up....

[95V6]

Is anyone even in talks with Mike or even remotely interested?

[gmkillr]

I appreciate everything that you have done over the years Mike as many others do. Please dont let the negative/ignorant posts and people let you believe for 1 second that what you've done here is anything less than awesome! Your a great dude, have a great business and friend!

[07v6vistablue]

Yes,
A big thanks to all on this board! Very helpful people an nice guys!


Thanks!

[Silverhatch]

When half the posters and at least one sponsor left to start another site was the beginning of the end here.To many people banned for stupid shit. Lou realized this early on imo. When Rode was booted then Mike bought it, the site lost two incomes basically.

[John4cam]

Too much drama.

[SK360]

Too much drama.

Not enough drama IMO. Forums always seemed to be at their best and busiest when there was drama allowed to go on.

[95V6]

There is a fine line.

[95V6]

That said it seems the forum has been more active since Mike hit us with this.

[SK360]

There is a fine line.

There is, but when it is too regulated you end up with a forum that's just for posting pictures & circle jerking.. A lot of the original user base moved on to non mustang/ford products. It was petitioned for years to evolve into a more general local enthusiast board but never happened. With the failure of UGH and other local boards, it was inevitable that a forum devoted to such a small subset of the local scene would die.

The thing that brought me here originally was to talk shit on a member at the time who was street racing at a local spot drunk with an empty 30 pack in his back seat, ended up I had a bunch of friends already here and stuck around.

[95V6]

Yes I remember when they wanted to open the site up and even change the name. I know I wouldn't post anymore if things got out of hand. I'm an adult, I don't find it funny or amusing. You or others might think that is what keeps a forum alive but not me. But that's just my opinion.

edit: meaning drama keeps the forum alive

edit: meaning drama keeps the forum alive

There is always a certain level of drama around the car scene no matter the age, the demographics or the vehicles. There needs to be some friction to keep things moving and keep people interested. When was the last SCS "event"? We used to put on a race every year over on Pittspeed and call out SCS.... and 1 or 2 people would show up from here. It's beyond help at this point, forums are a dying medium and if someone buys the name/brand it would be for nostalgic purposes and not because there is any worth behind it.

[95V6]

I agree with you there.

[John4cam]

Sk360. Thats something I agree with is to change to broader range of vehicles welcomed....obviously a name change would have to be. I really respect and like a lot of variety in the car scene but you know yourself most people aren't like that here...

[pop's stang]

There doesn't need to be drama on a website to keep it active. And despite what some of you may think, this is still a active website. At 3:30pm this afternoon there was 67 members who had visited the website. By 11pm tonight I bet that number goes up to 90+. It's getting new members involved and posting that is the key. Yes, your right there hasn't been SCS get together here. Why? It just takes a few members to get things moving. On my website I wish I had 67 members coming to it a day, but guess what...with my website we have meets, Stang Runs, Flashlight Drag events, and a car show that raised $1,700 for cancer. This Sunday there will be a Christmas party with over 45 people showing up. Forums are not dead, it takes great members like the ones posting here to make a website.:goodidea:

My point exactly. Since mike took over there hasn't been one single event that was tied to SCS. Shirts alone won't promote a site.




The forum could be bought tomorrow. But it has to be priced at it's real value.

Yep....his price is ridiculous.

[AdamantiumSilvr]

There was a guy on the Mountain Mustangs Facebook group a week or so ago that was asking about forums. I had mentioned SCS. I had heard and seen it was trying to be sold but not told that it will be totally gone at the first of the year.

[PaxtonShelby]

I know a few great car forums that have ZERO drama. And that's why I like them. Everyone acts like an adult.

[Cam99]

I've always liked forums that are run serious for people that truely just want tech info, or whatever, but have one section that is basically barely moderated for shit talking, kill stories, funny pics, etc. I think a healthy mix keeps the forum worth visiting and keeps post count up. If you see there is no real activity it's easy to move on. It's a shame to see this one go, but I can certainly see that Mike is done investing time and money in it, and I can respect that too.

[SlowSix]

I think drama keeps the site entertaining. I enjoyed UGH because every winter every got their keyboards out and talked shit for 4 months lol. But there definitely is a fine line. UGH often got out of hand.

Modded mustangs is personally my favorite site.... the tech sections are left to the tech, and the off topic section allows almost anything.

IMO, 60 some members on the site, doesn't mean an active site to me. Especially if only 3 post anything. It is too hard to keep a site down to one type of car, and local. You are niche'ing the site too much. If it is a car brand/type, it should be national, if it is a local site, it needs to be open to anything. Yes, you would have to get a long with stance guys and import kids, but atleast the forum would be more active.

[SK360]

The only reason there are 60 members online is this thread. Check the stats from 2 weeks ago and I'm sure they tell a different story. Shit only reason I checked here is because I saw someone mention this thread on the UGH facebook.

[SlowSix]

I think that was me actually lol

[gmkillr]

Im not a fan of the drama. I did however voice my opinion that the name needed to change to Steelcitycars or SteelcityXXXXX....whatever...just not Mustang specific as just the name Steelcitystangs keeps a ton of would be members/posters from ever even visiting as they feel they wouldnt be welcomed if they owned another car besides a Mustang.

Either way it looks to late now. I have alot of you guys #'s and we text or whatnot and friends with many of you on facebook.

[Wolfpack Speed]

Are you kidding me? Did you not read a single post I made in this thread? I spent the better part of last year reaching out to several members in search of those who would be willing to organize, promote and execute the missing events & activities this site desperately needs. Not a single one was willing to take the bull by the horns and make it happen. How is this my fault? Let me guess, I'm supposed to close down Wolfpack Speed to make you happy? Hit the road you IGNORANT keyboard warrior!

[mike5oh_93]

Hey Mike, thanks for the years of enjoyment on this site. I still love you! Lol.... I need some wings and beer.

[mustang50lx]

You have to thank Mike and Lou for keeping the site up and running all these years. If Mike hadn't have stepped this site may have been gone along time ago. It seems like a bunch of work and cost and aggravation for little or no gain.

[Martin0660]

I need some wings and beer.

Listen up tough guy. Don't get your panties in a bunch. Yes I remember you asking for help and if you remember I offered help and that's where it ended. Several people offered help and you never followed through. By what you just said you wanted someone to take over promoting the site while you say back and watch. That won't happen when the owner acts the way you have since owning it. You have asked for opinions and when they opposed your thoughts they were wrong. Just like deleting all the posts you didn't like. And don't say you didn't delete any posts. Because you did. Especially the ones that mentioned Tim. Your ego couldn't handle it plain and simple.

Close down your shop if you want it doesn't matter to me. Never used you and never will. As as far as ignorant goes.....you need to look in the mirror big guy

Listen up sir. Don't get worked up. Yes I remember you asking for help and if you remember I offered help and but I never actually got off my ass and tried to, I'm all talk. Several people offered help but they never followed through with you. By what you just said you needed to have someone to help with the site cause your very busy running a business and cant do everything, you did enough taking over the site and I love you for it. That won't happen when the owner is smart enough not to waste anymore of his time and money. You have asked for opinions and when they opposed your thoughts, just like with the classifieds, you were nice enough to go with the majority and not what you wanted so that the members were happy! Just like not deleting posts for the heck of it, only when they were about to cause drama, thanks for keeping things cool so there is no more bad blood, it was the right thing to do. And don't say you didn't do a great job Because you did. Especially the ones that mentioned Tim, we all know the drama follows that guy. thankfully Your ego could handle it plain and simple.

Close down your shop if you want but I hope you don't it matters to me. Never used you but someday I will wise up and will. As as far as ignorant goes, like maxpowers implied, I probably am both stupid and ignorant.....

Sounds like I hit a nerve

just as it was getting interesting. damn. lol

[John4cam]

On a serious note. Would a few of you be interested in purchasing the forum together, say each throw in a few hundred to meet agreed price? Then all who are part owners can moderate? Especially keeping an eye on sk360...

[John4cam]

Then the worst case scenario would be you're out a couple hundred vs 2k+. I will do this if anybody else wants to try it pm me or post up here.

[95V6]

I was on board but Im having second thoughts now. I'm not a fan of childish drama like this. Not sure if I want to back something like that. What about the name change and all the problems Mike had?

[burntire]

Sit tight. I have to talk to Mike and see if a deal can be reached.

[95V6]

Keep us posted

[Monkeygrits]

I wish I had the cash to help out. Even as a newer member I hate to see this forum go. I can afford maybe 50 bucks but with a baby on the way, Christmas, etc a few hundred is tight for me right now. Going from 2 incomes to one in a month or so will strap you a little lol.

Lou and I were just talking about this at lunch, IMO this is the way to go at this point. We have some really good members on here and several have spoken up and offered to contribute if it helps keep the forum around. If everyone pitches in what they say they will and a small group of level headed members are willing to make up the difference to purchase the forum, it's pretty much a win win. I think the benefits of multiple owners will help the forum way more than it will hurt it. I have done the dirty work, the money was spent, the forum was made over, t-shirts & stickers can be printed whenever, I even paid to advertise the forum, we just need some members willing to put in the work to make events happen.


Sit tight. I have to talk to Mike and see if a deal can be reached.

Call me any time Maverick!

[burntire]

The only way multiple owners will work is with a LLC. Whom ever owns the domain is the one who gets sued. If it's not a LLC or corporation your personal assets are at risk. Forum owners haven't been sued. My old site was under a LLC.

[Silverhatch]

Mike , are you interested in being a sponsor if the site is member owned?

[Silverhatch]

I think it could work. Change up the name, get a few older sponsors back. I heard first hand UGH was doing well, Tim became to busy for it. He said the traffic was crazy.

[SK360]

[SlowSix]

I have been on here for a while, twice a day. I don't post much but love Stangs. I bought one and sold one on here. There are a lot of good people on here willing to help people with good advice.

I believe something happened with the server that he was hosting it on, and he said that he decided to close it because he didn't have time for it anymore.

This is correct. He was too busy to make the changes when the hosting server was no longer available. The traffic was high, I monitored it from the office almost everyday.


I've made quite a few contacts from this site. It'll be depressing to see it go but such is the life of local forums unfortunately. I don't post on here like I used to but Mike, thanks for the effort. I think we all appreciate that.

BTW, like it or not, a section of a site where there is basically no moderation is key in site sustainability. Look at most large forums, most traffic is in the off topic, ball busting sections and classifieds. The other sections like builds, technical, meets, etc all get their views stemming from the trash talk. Hell, half of the builds people do are to one up the next guy whether they admit it or not. Trash talk = traffic.

[95V6]

What's the deal with the site?? Is it closing or not?

[Wolfpack Speed]

The server was moved because the host server was finished with their shutdown process and ready to pull the plug for good. I have 2 serious buyers that will purchase the forum if we can close the deal, I wanted to avoid the forum being shut off while we negotiate. So, I had a short term offer from another company that I host with that allowed me to upgrade my hosting account which enabled me to move the forum, the promotion is temporary but it didn't cost me anything so it was kind of a no brainer IMO.

I hope you can work out a deal. I really enjoy the site. I visit it a few times every day. I don't post much though. I've been a member since the beginning. If I was in a better position financially I might have considered purchasing it from you. That and my job keeps me preoccupied and tired lol.

[ebo 4356]

Hope a deal can be made. I love this forum! I will miss it for sure...

[mr4teth]

Wish I had the time and knowledge. What Mike is asking is very fair considering the money and time he's invested.
